To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that we, JOSEPH A.

Our composition consists of the following ingredients, combined in the proportions stated, viz.: boiled linseed oil, one gallon; spirits of turpentine, one gallon; Japan drier, one quart; dry (air slaked) lime, sixteen pounds; these to be thoroughly mixed and allowed to stand for one month, with occasional stirrings, and is then to be boiled for a few minutes. After that it is ready for use, and

if too thick it should be thinned by adding more turpentine, and is applied like varnish or paint to the wood. Being transparent, it
